Here's a question ?

Gas is stored underground where the temps are pretty much constant
much in the same way wine is stored in caves. The temps stay constant
all year long and gas doesn't expand or contract at a constant temp. Water
isn't much an issue anymore since fiberglass doesn't let water leak into a gas tank.

So here's the question?

If gas is stored in a constant state and comes out cool then on hot days
the gas will expand more "after" it's pumped in to a cars gas tank resulting in
you getting more energy from the gas instead of less. On freezing days it is the opposite as the gas will contract after it goes in to a cold gas tank resulting in less energy to the user.

If this is the case then it won't matter when you pump it ?
